Something There

Why? Why? He's just barely regained sanity, and yet I can't help but feel drawn.

But...it isn't right. I know it isn't.

He is to be a king. I'm just a mercenary-turned-professor that's helping him fight back the Empire that started this damned war.

I'm already dating one of his best friends, even.

So...why? Why does my heart beat faster whenever he's around?

And why did it have to start happening now?
